Dieing to be noticed.

This gothic church is beautiful!

Suicide is not the way. He had lived his life to the fullest, basking in the sun and bathing in the waves. He had a good life. But when his colors changed and death was upon him; the change proved to be fatal. Here is the last pictures of our brave comrad Amenathos Eleotherios Kurippinka... he jumped to his death moments later. He will live the rest of his days near his rightful creator. He will be missed.

I like the focus of this image... it's also just a wild flower.

Can you believe it? This is "just" a weed which started to grow in the flower garden. For a weed, it sure is beautiful!

Beautiful storm clouds making this warm summer exciting!

This tree reminds me of the ones I find at cemetaries. Too bad that I realize now that I should have tried to make this shot much much much more wider. oh well, it's a learning process.

Right outside my quarters, there's a tree which seems quite ancient. At the bottom of the tree, I found this beautiful formation - it's some type of mushroom slowly degrading the tree. it's beautiful - except that obvious trace of human intervention (the metal staple).

Another guessing game, what is this? I can't figure it out.

Really, just dangled twigs and such. I like the lighting effect that the water provides. I wish I had the talent to take pictures of water like this - so far I'm just guessing.

Anyone want to take a guess at what this city might be?

It's a wildflower I saw on the side of the northern lakeshore. I couldn't help but take a picture of it. It doesn't look like much in real life, but somehow in pictures the colors look much better. I think it's blue being juxtaposed with the green.

This image captures the essense of gothic cathedrals. I feel, also, that it captures the mindset of the people during that time period with specific representation coming from the monochrome nature of the photograph. What do you think?

What is this? This grows on my neighbor's tree. It's beautiful when seen with rain on it, ugly when it's dry. I first thought, 'it's a cherry.' Can it be a cherry?

That's all I found today! Yummy! Note the strangely shaped tomoato - I call it Bono.

Nothing artistic, just a mutant cucumber! I never say this until I noticed it was more than a foot long! AHH!

A harbinger of the fall ahead. I'm not that excited this year.

Here's the picture that took a really steady hand - and a smooth drive. Just gives you the feeling of going into the future - then again, the picture was taken in a small micropolis.

It's strictly not an artistic photo. It just shows what comes out of watering plants the entire summer. Plus, there's much more to come now that more of these are maturing!

I agree, it's an old-journalist's trick. But although the trick is so so so old, the images produces are just so powerful. You can highlight the subject.

Wahoo! I took this photo from three meters away---without a Tripod! I don't know how I avoided blur! What do you think?!
